"For your do's and don?ts of your nail art. You do want to make sure that you file and buff all ten nails before you start with any polish. Once you've applied the polish you really can't go back and clean any of that up. You always do want to use a base coat, so that any polish color that you use won't stain the natural nail. You also want to use a base coat just to help the polish stick and last longer. You don't want to put some colors together. Personally, I don't like pink and red together unless you have a color that's going to kind of tie them together. Like a red with a pink base. You always want to use a top coat. That is going to give the nail it's shiny finished glass-look appearance. And you don't want to use too many colors on top of each other. If you start applying four and five colors right on top of each other the polish is not going to dry, and it will smear and definitely get on all of your clothes. And that is the do's and don?ts of nail art."
